Life in High Definition

File Under: Wow

Sometimes I'm clever and the title of my blog post is a metaphor and sometimes it's just what it says.

I've had my new TV for a couple of months now, and I upgraded my cable service to include the HD channels. I've been enjoying it. The Food Network looks great - it's as if I can reach into it and sample some of the delicious food being prepared by Ina and Giada. "Dancing With the Stars" is exciting, it's like I'm in the ballroom.

Tonight, I turned on The Discovery Channel and an episode of "Planet Earth" was on. I have to tell you, it was stunning. The aerial views left me feeling dizzy. The underwater shots made me feel like I was swimming along with the fish. Truly amazing stuff!

Now I'm watching "Clean House" on The Style Network. Not quite as visually stunning, but fun. :) Nicey's flowers in her hair leap off the screen.

I have the digital cable channels but not the HDTV yet. I told myself I couldn't have it until after the living/dining room and den are like I want them. Half-way there with that one! I also won't let me have a wireless router until I got my den in order. It looks like a junk room in here right now, unfortunately. I'm getting ready to quit waiting for them and will get going on the den!
